2. Overview Redesign Math College Reading and Composition
(English & Reading) Administrative Student supports &
testing Proposed timeline
3. The problem The more levels of developmental courses a
student needs to go through, the less likely that student is to
ever complete college English or math. - Thomas Bailey (2009) CCRC
Brief.

MAT 099 ENG 030 ENG 060 ENG 090 REA 030 REA 060 REA 090
5. The goal of our recommendations Move students quickly and
effectively through their first college level course.
6. National and local models considered Washington State -
iBest Tennessee modules and math emporium Los Medinos -
acceleration in math CCBC - Accelerated Learning (ALP) Chabot
College Acceleration University of Texas - new mathways project
APSU mainstreaming Aurora Integrated English and Reading Denver
Fast Start Front Range ALP learning communities
7. Our recommendations Reduce the amount of time, number of
credits, and number of classes Curriculum redesign Reverse design
What students need to know for success in college class Active
learning experiences Ongoing process

Accuplacer test 1B) CRC 092 + CRC 091 Completion of all REA and ENG
developmental requirements CRC 092 Completion of all REA and ENG
developmental requirements 2A) CRC 093 Studio D Completion of all
REA and ENG developmental requirements 2B) CRC 094 Studio 121
Completion of all REA and ENG developmental requirements
12. Administrative
13. Testing and placement Colorado specific Accuplacer with
strands Uniform multiple measures built into Accuplacer system
Consistent test administration statewide Validate Accuplacer scores
every 3-5 years are we using the right cut scores To accomplish
these goals use a system level institutional administrator (IA) in
addition to college site administrators for local control
14. Student support Use CCCSE practices Orientation Goal
setting and planning No late registrations First year experience
Student success course Tutoring Supplemental instruction Case
management/academic advising/career coaches College develop a plan
to use for planning, initiating, and sustaining success for
developmental students
15. Faculty support and development Colleges create a
professional development plan Offer limited full time positions to
current adjunct instructors during implementation Provide release
time for implementation Course release and reassigned time to
develop and implement student success strategies Functional work
groups on campusi.e. BANNER, Advising, Testingaddress the issues of
the implementation process Provide, with CCCS, continuing
professional development focusing on research-based strategies
Train transfer level and developmental faculty
16. Measures of success Successful developmental students and
programs should be measured in the following ways: In Math
Successful completion of any college level (100+) math course In
English and Reading Successful completion of any college level
(100+) English course or any college level discipline strands
course.
17. What happens next?
18. Implementation teams Core implementation team Faculty
Focused on curriculum, content, training, and professional
development Redesign advisory group Administrative (Banner,
Business officer, Advising, financial aid)
19. Timeline Spring/summer 13 CIT work to develop curriculum
and to create professional development training for faculty and
staff Fall of 13 schools that are already working on redesign will
ramp up projects Spring 14 all colleges should transition to the
new models Fall of 14 all colleges should be operating with the new
